Title: Detection of on-heat cows
Inventor: NEWELL ROBERT JAMES
IPC: A61D17/00
Filed: 1998-08-26
Abstract: A method of detecting a first cow when mounted by a second cow is described. One or more beams of light are directed wholly or substantially horizontally at one or more detectors, and at a level above the first cow and corresponding to the additional height of the second cow when mounting the first cow, such that the mounting of the first cow by the second cow breaks one or more of the beams of light to one or more of the detectors, and the or each detected break causes activation of an alarm means or a cow identification means or both. Mounting is an indication to the farmer that the cow is ready for insemination, and the invention provides an automatic method of alerting when a cow on heat, or immediately identifying a cow on heat, which is only activated as and when the cow allows herself to be mounted. Preferably, two or more beams of light and two or more detectors are used, and the detectors work in partnership to coordinate two or more differently located cameras to the location of breakage of the light beams.

Title: Testing jig for an electronic circuit board with a laser engraved conductive rubber probe
Inventor: SUDA TAKUMI
IPC: G01R1/073
Filed: 2000-04-25
Abstract: A testing jig for an electronic circuit board includes a conductive rubber member 8 having a frame-shaped rib 9 and enclosing ribs 9, 10 formed on its obverse surface opposing a resist-printed layer 4. The ribs are formed by laser engraving to loosely fit into voids or grooves in the resist layer 4 and contact electrodes 7 on the circuit board. In this arrangement, the presence of disconnection in the patterned interconnections is examined by bringing the ribs 8, 9, 10 into contact with the electrodes 7. Since a laser engraving process is used, it is possible to rapidly manufacture a testing jig to match the circuit pattern 7 of the resist-printed layer 4.

Title: High torque low speed mud motor for use in drilling oil and gas wells
Inventor: HIPP JAMES E
IPC: E21B4/02
Filed: 1999-02-12
Abstract: A mud motor (100) for use in oil and gas well drilling includes a reciprocating valve and piston arrangement that generates power using drilling fluid media (e.g., drilling mud) pumped through an inlet port (118) to form a differential across a piston seat (46). The differential pressure causes the valve and piston assembly to move down in an elongated body (111). Rollers (138, 142) then force telescoping, reciprocating fingers (56, 57) to rotate while absorbing the reciprocating up and down action of the valve and piston assembly. This clockwise rotation causes a transmission that includes a clutch shaft (134) and sprags (146) to engage a clutch housing (135) causing the drill bit (17) to turn. Thrust bearings (156) allow weight to be applied to the tool (100) to optimize drilling action. The apparatus can be used in well drilling or in the removal of obstructions (14) such as bridge plugs, metal and rubber from the well bore.

Title: Generating a List of Terms and a Thesaurus from Input Terms
Inventor: EDMONDS PHILIP GLENNY
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 2002-08-07
Abstract: A list of terms ranked in accordance with their relatedness to an input term is generated as follows: A list of terms related, for example by meaning, and given scores indicating their strength of relatedness is retrieved by accessing a first resource with the input term. At least one further list of scored terms is retrieved by accessing at least one further resource with the input term. One or more lists of unscored terms may be retrieved by accessing other resources with the input term. Terms which are unscored are given arbitrary scores.
